PROJECT REPORT ON
DUAL TONE MULTPLE FEQUENCY BASED HOME
AUTOMATION SYSTEM
ABSTRACT VIEW OF THE PROJECT
i. This project is mainly concerned with design a
system that allows users, upon authentication, to
remotely control and monitor multiple home
appliances using a cell phone-based interface.
ii. In this project we make the use of dtmf module and
relay to control the circuitry.
NEED OF AUTOMATION
•1.Saves time When: you are in a
•2.Save money (Long run) traffic jam on the
highway
•3.Self Maintenance What: You set
•4.Security microwave oven in a
•5.Makes life easy slow cooking mode

DTMF SIGNALS
•Dtmf is a signalling system for identifying the keys or better say
the number dialled on a pushbutton or dtmf keypad.
• Dtmf is a multiple frequency tone dialling system used by the
push button keypads in telephone and mobile sets to convey the
number or key dialled by the caller.
• Dtmf has enabled the long distance signalling of dialled numbers
in voice frequency range over telephone lines.
•Dtmf (dual tone multi frequency) as
The name suggests uses a combination of two
Sine wave tones to represent a key.
•These tones are called row and column
Frequencies as they correspond to the layout of
A telephone keypad.

ADVANTAGE:
Utilization Of Electrical power.
Power Conservation.
Design is small and portable.
Easy to use.
Economical.
DRAWBACKS:
The receiver must reside where sufficient signal can be received from a
cellular phone network.
The receiver must have a power source attached at all times.
Only 6 devices can be connected to the system.
APPLICATIONS OF DTMF TECHNOLOGY
•The application of this project is to switch on and off home appliances by a cell phone.
When we are not at home it may happen that we do not remember whether the appliance is
switched on or off. So we can develop this project such that we get the status of the appliances
as a message on our cell phone and hence take the required action. This can be done using
GSM module.
It helps in effective control of home appliances and increases power efficiency.
It increases appliances lifetime and also power efficiency.
Dtmf tones are mainly use in terrestrial stations for turning on and shutting off remote
transmitter.
It is mainly use in telephone stations for detection of called and dialed numbers.
FUTURE SCOPE OF DTMF BASED TECHNOLOGY
• Our effort towards building the home automation concept did not utilise the
microcontroller concept. Using microcontroller in place of decoder will bring more
control techniques towards home automation.
• This project can be further enhanced to the High voltage A.C Applications by changing
the ratings of the Relay.
• We can control and monitor the high speed induction motors as well as synchronous
motors. This can be done in an economical way.
• We can also add some security features in the circuit. One of the way is password
protection. Through this only selected people can access this control over the home
appliances.
• In this project in future we can add a multimedia camera to see what is going inside the
home by sitting in office or somewhere.
CONCLUSION
• From this project we have came into the conclusion that
now a day home security is of prime importance that
cannot be ignored. So with this project we can easily
achieve the home security by automatically controlling
the home appliances if someone forget to put off any
devices and if we have reached someone far off places
from our home. Thus in this way we can keep track on
both the things that is home when you are busy at in
workplace and without any worry we can perform our
task…
